After another win in the NFC on Monday night, the Bears moved to 5-3 on the season and inched their way closer to a playoff spot.
Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and Eagles quarterback Michael Vick weren't just trying to edge it out on the field in last night's game.
Yes, he's maddening. And he looks like that guy in college who you always wanted to punch in the mouth, just because. But Jay Cutler has also proven himself as the best QB in Bears history.
Matt Forte bounced back from two costly turnovers and Jay Cutler rallied the resilient Bears to a 30-24 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. The surging Bears move to 5-3.
As expected, Bears offensive tackle is out for Monday night's contest against the Eagles.
As the Bears prepare to take on the Eagles on Monday night, former Eagles linebacker Ike Reese joined The McNeil and Spiegel Show to break down the matchup.

Buddy Ryan coached the Bears defense to a Super Bowl Championship in 1985 and went on to be the Eagles' head coach for five seasons. Tonight, he'll be honored at halftime as the Bears and Eagles meet in Philadelphia.
Coming into Monday night's matchup against the Eagles, the Bears will have to worry about more than just the Eagles dynamic passing game.
The running back makes up nearly 50 percent of the Bears total offense, and one NFL expert expects the Bears to lean heavily on Forte in Monday's game against the Eagles.
Leading charge for the Eagles is the versatile Michael Vick, who's legs are just as much a threat as his arms. Add to that mix an explosive group of wide receivers and a running back rushing for over five yards per carry, and the Bears have a tantalizing challenge.
Bears head Coach Lovie Smith says the game Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles is "a huge game for us," but despite the Eagles' prowess on the field, "we think we can match up."
Another big game for the Bears as they travel to take on Philadelphia tonight. If the Bears can find a way to win, they put themselves in a great spot to continue the playoff race. A loss with a rested Detroit coming in next week makes things more difficult. Here are the matchups I'm looking at:
After missing his second consecutive practice, Bears offensive tackle Cabe Carimi has been ruled out for Monday night's game in Philadelphia.
It's taken nine weeks to get two primetime games actually worth watching. Outside of those two match-ups, there aren't many compelling games. Nevertheless, here's my take on how the NFL's Week 9 will shake out with my predictions, my juggernaut games of the week, and my juggernot lames of the weak"
Sidelined since Week 2 by a knee injury Carimi has missed five straight games. His status for Monday's matchup against the Eagles is still uncertain, but the Bears are hoepful he will return.
I have been amused by the optimism I've read and heard about the Bears lately. As we inch closer to the Bears' next "biggest game of the year"
Defensively, the Eagles employ the Wide-9 technique, which essentially means each defensive end is lined up outside of the 9-hole, giving them more space to rush the quarterback at an angle.
The Eagles are the best three-win team in the NFL, which along with the Saints, is talented enough to take down the Packers.
The bye week is over and the Bears are getting back to business. Let's see what's on your mind as the Bears get ready for a big matchup with the Eagles.
The Bears will have to get past the undefeated Packers if they want to reach their ultimate goal -- the Superbowl.
When the Bears take on the Eagles on Monday night, they will need to rush with containment if they plan to have success against Vick.

The Eagles completed one of the most expensive free agencies in NFL history before the start of the 2011 season, but their high-profile makeup isn't scaring Lovie Smith as the Bears prepare to return from their bye week.
